‘…our things in our hands must be equals, compares…’
Rodchenko
Things ‘…will replace the pleasure of commodity possession, not with its presumed communist opposite of material renunciation, but with something far more peculiar and psychologically powerful: the material object as an active, almost animate participant in social life’.
Christina Kiaer
Rodchenko called objects ‘comrades’. This conception made inorganic objects a ‘doubling of the human body’, whereas Marx criticised capitalist commodity for having the opposite effect. Rodchenko deplored the way that Paris’s commodity culture turned women into ‘a thing’. In contrast constructivist commodities as comrades were the height of interactivity, their virtues being multifunctionality, mobility, convertability. Use value dominated over display value.
